High Adventure 2016

So for the first time in this ward's young womens we had the opportunity to take our miamaids and Laurels on a high Adventure.  Our first day consisted of going up to a Ropes Course in Eden where we got to take part in a bunch of different strategic activities.  They all were based on having to work as a team to be able to accomplish them.  It was really fun and hard work as well. It really required you to think out of the box and rely on each other and get up and close and personal with each other. It was a ton of fun. I didnt get any pictures of our second part of the day unfortunatly because it was floating the weber river on tubes. I couldnt bring along the phone so no picts. It was a blast however there were a bit of crazy rapids where alot of our girls fell in and had to try and get back up in their tubes.

There were some girls who were very afraid of this and the ropes course we did earlier, but they were all able to get through the activity and hopefully feel like they accomplished something very hard and scary and felt proud of themselves.  The theme of our High Adventure was We can do Hard Things.



The last day we went on the 11 mile hike up to Lewis Peak. It was a hard hike. 3-4 miles straight up hill. Lots of loose rock and uneven terrain. But we all made it up except a couple leaders and the views were so amazing and I know the girls were proud of themselves for hanging in there and completing it. Afterwards we had Zeppe's smoothies down in the parking lot  which was amazing after how hot and tired we were.

Along the hike each of us leaders took a spot to present a little devotional on being able to accomplish hard things. Mine was being able to physically endure hard things, and Sheri's was being able to mentally do hard things and Carrie's was to spiritually being able to endure hard things. We each had a little treat and quote or saying to go along with it.

More pictures to come when we get the ones that sister Dewberry took on the trip. She was our photographer.
